I use a single library approach with the following naming conventions for
the source files:

QxxRPG    - RPG III Source
QxxMOD  - ILE Modules
QxxEXE    - "MAKE" source for compiling ILE programs.
QxxDBF    - Database source. DDS or SQL
QxxDSP    - Display file source.
QxxPRT    - Printer file source

The "xx" denotes a particular module within the software package. For
example; AP, AR, GL etc. The main reason that I prefer a single library
approach is because it's less of an effort to navigate the source using a
tool like PDM.
